what? that's what it is!
I am, even as I type, savoring a small pot of civet coffee.
the delicacy - passed through the digestive track of civets (which aren't exactly cats... but they're kinda like tree-cats, close enough) before being cleaned, ground, brewed and consumed by yours truly - can cost as much as $50 a cup if you're getting horrifically ripped off in fancy restaurants. Here in the Philippines, a civet-coffee-exporting country, my little pot cost about five bucks, so how could I resist?
Tasting notes: Nutty. Delicate. Very mild. It's true what they say - it's really not bitter, although it does still taste acidic to me.
All in all? Definitely not worth $500/pound. Maybe worth $5/cup, if you like a light coffee. But I still prefer coffee that kicks me in the face.
